Comment Incorrect PAE assumption (Score 3, Informative) 154

The few distros that still support 32-bit x86 mostly do for the Geode LX and similar VIA processors that provide a barebone 686 instruction set without PAE. Heck, older Geodes are not even barebone 686, but rather 585 with all the bells and whistles. That ought to remain the base platform.

For everyone else, there's essentially zero reason for remaining on 32-bit CPUs.

For sure. A military pilot over a populated area has an absolute obligation to make every effort to ensure the plane does not hit a civilian area, up to and including dying with the plane if that's what this requires. This happened over San Diego like a decade ago. I said the same thing then, and it's exactly what happened. It's going to be what happens this time, too.
